Doggy Day Care in South Newstead

“Danielle is awesome! She exudes dog-people-ness: our dog was immediately comfortable in her home (and with her!) and she did a lovely job of caring for him/delivering him home at the end of his visit. We received adorable photos and felt entirely confident he was in great hands all day. Thanks Danielle!!”

“Natalie is an excellent Dog Mom. I can’t say enough good things about her. My wife was hesitant to leave our dog with someone overnight, but Natalie assured her that everything would be fine and it was. Rossi got fresh water multiple times a day, played in her spacious backyard with other dogs, and she took our dog for walks several times a day. She sent multiple updates with pictures and videos, which we really appreciate it. I absolutely would not hesitate to use Natalie again.”

About: I’m a fun, patient, attentive and big-hearted animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for pets. Growing up with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and reptiles, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs. I’ve cared for pets ranging from reptiles and fish, to senior dogs and cats, to puplies and brand new kittens. At 19, I adopted my first dog, a Bull Mastiff, and raised him from a 6-week-old puppy to a 140-pound adult. I’ve also cared for my family’s cats after my mother passed, and I lovingly adopted a 12-year-old Cairn Terrier, providing him with care until his passing at 16.5 years. While I have no formal training, I have a natural ability to train animals with patience and love, always using a firm yet gentle approach. I’m experienced in handling a variety of species, including reptiles like ball pythons and geckos, and have even assisted with rescuing wildlife. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, my diverse experience, and my ability to provide both playful and responsible care. Your pet will feel loved, safe, and well-cared for with me! I live alone, lost the last of my own critters, and am a seasonal traveler. I go to Argentina for a couple months every winter so I can’t responsibly own pets of my own, but I am built to be around them! I need animals in my life so this is as much for me as it is for you. I work remotely so I have a lot of flexibility especially when it comes to sitting or walking from my home or town. I can be very attentive to your animal to whatever fits their comfort level. I am very active so am I game for hikes, walks, and lots of playing, but can also enjoy a nice sit and snuggle with an elderly friend. I live alone so there would be no triggers from children, other animals, etc. once they’re in my house. I live walking distance from several trails and parks. I also love taking dogs for car rides! Whatever they wish. I am very attentive so I ensure your baby will be content and cared for to the best of our ability.

“We were just passing through on a road trip and landed tickets to see the Bills play so this was a last minute book. Sierra was wonderful with our Bella who has separation anxiety. She took it slow with Bella and soon Sierra had her eating (she has NEVER eaten a meal when we are not there with her), going for walks, and napping. I can tell Sierra was great with Bella because she was happy when we picked her up and went right to sleep when we got home.”

About: Hi! I’m Mary. I am a stay at home mom of 5 year old twins and a 12 year old shihtzu mix. I became a dog walker 5 days a week in September of 2024 by chance and realized how much I love it. I’ve been around animals my whole life, currently including my 8 chickens! If you’re looking for a dog walker, I walk in all weather. I can also just pop in and hang out for a bit and let them out for a potty, change litter boxes, feed, etc! I am experienced with all types of dogs, cats, and other animals and I hope to meet yours too! Currently booked for weekly walks 12-1pm on Monday Tuesday and Fridays. Only other commitment is school drop off and pickup for my twins, otherwise open! I am open to all types of animal care and have experience with elderly dogs. I have cared for big and small dogs, cats, chickens, fish, etc.

“Thanks so much! Crystal was very professional. She was clear about her services and what she doesn’t offer - like picking my dog up from my house - I appreciate clear boundaries. She fed him & let him out more than enough times and he seemed very happy over there. I feel safe with her watching my dog. Thank you!”

“Jenn & Brian have become our go-to sitters, they are consistently wonderful! Life savers! The only time Luna pulls on her leash is when she realizes we pulled up to Jenn & Brian's place 😊 She is always so happy to be there!”

Liz W.

“I highly recommend Joah & Kelly! They were very aware and responsive to Rosie, provide a lot of support during her first day. I really appreciated the pics 📸 they sent throughout the day, too. It was reassuring to see Rosie happy & comfortable.”

About: **Happy to offer $20 off to new clients with my code krista85264 I’ve grown up with pet’s my entire life including cats, small dogs and medium size dogs. We currently have a young maltipoo, Sonny, who gets along and likes to play with other dogs. I am also able to give oral medication if needed. My drop off hours for care are flexible. I work from home which allows me to care for your dog in my home, along with our family dog. I am able to take your dog out as frequently as needed and short walks throughout the day, if preferred. I am happy to do a meet and greet at our house before committing to pet sitting to ensure it is a right fit! Our yard is partially fenced, so your dog will be taken out on their leash for bathroom breaks. Myself or my husband are usually always home so your dog would rarely be crated, unless of course there is a need or preference! I can accommodate any special diets and specific care instructions we ensure your pet is well cared for, just like a member of my own family!

About: I’m Mindy and I am a stay at home mom. I have two school aged children and a small dog, Mazie. We adopted her from the animal shelter and she is a therapy dog for the Paws for Love program. I have extra time on my hands and would love to care for your pet! I enjoy being outside and active and love taking my dog for walks and bike rides! I have a fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood. I have experience taking care of cats and dogs, of course! Mazie is an easy going dog and very friendly and loving. She gets along with other pets as well. I do prefer crate trained dogs at nighttime. Since that’s where Mazie sleeps up in our room. Please feel free to ask questions and I would love to meet your dog and help in any way!

“Thanks Ciara for taking great care of my energetic puppy on a rainy day and for sending lots of sweet updates.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I love and understand them. I can provide the level of care I would have wanted for my dogs, which was customized and specific with lots of attention. I am a homebody and work from home. I’m used to caring for my dog daily, she sadly just passed at age 14. I’m transitioning in work from a high stress job to finding a more fulfilling path. I go for daily walks on the walking path and of a stroller is needed, I have that too! And a wagon! I have two big fields where I live set far back from the road, a backyard and a walking path behind the townhouse. I can provide a safe, caring and catered environment for your dog while your away.

“We appreciate Mindy's flexibility with our dog sitting needs while visiting Buffalo. She was friendly and communicative, too. Our dog seemed happy and relaxed in Mindy's home. Will be using Mindy's services again.”

“Beverly was great at communication and coordinating drop off/pick up, and helping to ensure that our dog adapt quickly to her place. We appreciate it! Thank you.”

About: I have owned dogs and cats since I was young. My ability to care for many dogs of all types, I’ve learned while being in animal rescue for 5 years. I work with all kinds of dogs and cats from all ages and backgrounds. I have ability to separate dogs who are not dog friendly with other furry friends. As well as cats. I have a very large fenced in yard and a beautiful neighborhood, and just minutes from the bike path- great for walking! My love for animals is immeasurable. All my spare time I have volunteered with an animal rescue by fundraising, and training dogs in need. I also foster in my home for dogs who are up for adoption. I can’t wait to expand my talents and love for animals by helping in my community.

“We now call Dena, Aunt Dena, because for the short 8 weeks we were in Buffalo for work she and her family became Goose’s family. I can not say enough kind things about her and her family, all around great people and caretakers. I am positive that Goose misses his friends in Buffalo, I know I do, and hope to one day be back to visit. I am so thankful for all the time, commitment, and love she put into Goose.”

“Laura was amazing with my off the wall super energetic 3 month old springer spaniel puppy!! She is a super experienced trainer and was amazing at providing a balance between structure/close monitoring for safety and a lot of fun play time for my girl. She sent a lot of updates and advice that was very helpful for our training as well! Laura went above and beyond and even gave me tons of training tips outside of the visit because my pup is very difficult and has been struggling with separation anxiety. Best value out of a Rover stay I’ve ever gotten!”

“Kara was amazing! She was super flexible with a short notice booking, and took great care of our boy for the day. The pictures she sent were adorable. Would highly recommend, and will certainly reach out if we need someone in Buffalo again.”
